Haagen-Dazs Matcha Green Tea

This one had been in the freezer forever, but I did finally eat it, and then I waited a few more months to post the review. Sorry about that, but I can't imagine you were holding your breath for this review anyway hehehe.

Haagen-Dazs Salted Brown Butter Cookie

[New for 2025] I went to Hannaford with the mild hope of finding something new. Well, I came home with one of the new Ben & Jerry's Sundae flavors and also....

New Haagen-Dazs for 2025

Time to talk Haagen-Dazs news! First off, the short-lived butter cones are out, and new Belgian waffle cones are in! Will these tasty looking cones last more than two years?

Summer Berry, Vanilla Salted Caramel,

Toasted Almond Fudge and Triple Chocolate Fudge

More Haagen-Dazs Cultured Cremes

[New for 2024] Do you remember those "yogurt style snacks" that H-D put out last year? If so, have you noticed that they put out two new flavors? That's right, the lineup finally has some chocolatey options. Let's check out.....

Vanilla & Chocolate Cultured Creme

Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Cookie Crumble Ice Cream Bars

[New for early 2024] During the last Haagen-Dazs review, I mentioned that they have 3 new bars for us. There are mini vanilla milk chocolate bars, dulce de leche bars, and the delicious looking...

Haagen-Dazs New York Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

[New for Early 2024] So I un-jinxed myself, and it was kind of on purpose. I had this weird feeling that if I did a post about not finding anything before our weekend shopping, that maybe I would finally find a bunch of new stuff, and boy did I thanks to my local Shaws Supermarket. While 2024 was strangely quiet for Haagen-Dazs, they are back with 3 new bars (covered in a future post) and two new pints. The first pint is the simple sounding but certainly taste Vanilla Caramel Pecan ice cream, and the other is...

Haagen-Daz Cultured Creme

[New for 2023] So Haagen-Dazs doesn't really have any new ice cream flavors for us this year (I assume next year they will ofcourse), but they do have these new items in the yogurt aisle. Is it genius or folly? I'm not too worried, but let's dig in and find out!

Haagen-Dazs Strawberry Butter Cookie Cone

[2023-2024] It's very weird to walk past the Haagen-Dazs section every week and not see new pints. It just seems wrong... but thankfully I've started walking by these at least.

Haagan-Dazs Black & White Cookie Ice Cream

[New for 2022] Let's check out the last non-nutty pint in the new city sweets lineup. So far it's been a bit of hit and miss so let's see what's inside...

Haagan-Dazs Dulce de Leche Churro Ice Cream

[New for 2022] Whoa, is it April already? Time really does start to fly as you get older. It's one of the reasons why I post 1-2 times a week instead of 3-5 times a week. Anyway, Haagan-Dazs' new churro bars were so good, is there any way that this pint rocks the same magic?

Haagen-Dazs Summer Berry Cake Pop

[2022-2024] In general, Haagen-Dazs usually throws us some kind of new lineup every year. 2021 only gave us pint redesigns (which I am a fan of), but 2022 is giving us the "City Sweets" lineup. There are 5 pints and 3 bars with some flavor overlap between those pints and bars. Now I've already had those amazing churro bars, so I'm pretty excited to try....

Haagan-Dazs Dulce De Leche Churro Bar

[New for 2022] I don't know about you, but I get pretty excited when the words "churro" and "ice cream" come together.... heck, throw in "Haagan-Dazs" and now we've really got something to drool over. Let's take a big ol' bite of...

Haagen-Dazs Irish Cream Brownie Ice Cream

[New for 2019] Good news for our spirit enjoying friends out there. I was thinking that the Spirits line was dead for 2022 because, well, it tends to not get much love in grocery stores. Well, I was wrong! The more popular flavors are being rolled in to the main HD lineup. The flavors transitioning are bourbon praline pecan, bourbon vanilla bean truffle, rum tres leches and...

In my 2021 quest to collect all of the new Haagen-Dazs lids, I found two more at my local Hannaford (Food Lion to some of you). Let me jump start this review by saying that the vanilla chocolate chip is so much better than their take on Cookies & Cream.

Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

To chip or not to chip?

You know how I mentioned never officially reviewing Haagen-Dazs Mint Chip in my other HD post? Well, I've technically never reviewed their chocolate chocolate chip ice cream either! I know I've tried it... I mean, haven't I? Yeah, I'm like 80-90% sure I've had it before.

Haagen-Dazs Mint Chip Ice Cream

So, I'm not really sure what's going on, but I just haven't been in to Ben & Jerry's lately. I started the task of grabbing all of the newly redesigned Haagen-Dazs pints and now I just want to eat H-D all the time and not B&J's. It's kind of weird but also kind of fun too... what's even weirded is that technically this ice cream has never been posted before, so let's take a quick look at...

Do you like the new Haagen-Dazs packaging?

Sorry for the lack of posts. Real life has been very busy while there's not a ton going on in the freezer aisle. So, let's ask a question: do you like the new Haagen-Dazs packaging?

H-D was on sale this week, so I stocked up a bit (to off set all the Ben & Jerry's in the chest freezer). I'm happy with my choices, though admittedly they didn't have a ton to choose from.

This was the first new pint design that I saw and it's probably still my favorite. I like the colors and I also like how the flower inspired the overall pattern. Now go back to the first picture and you will notice the flavor also inspired those background patterns as well.

And this is the Haagen-Dazs caramel cone ice cream sundae I made with the new Dulce de Leche Toast Crunch cereal. Ahhh, fun times. I devoured that caramel cone pint which then encouraged the four pint purchase above.

Apparently I haven't figured out my new phone yet...

So, yeah, Haagen-Dazs is still tasty and now comes in updated packaging. This is now the fourth pint design that we've seen since I started the blog (there was the design when I started in 2008, redesign in 2010, redesign in 2017, redesign here in 2021)

Haagen-Dazs Heaven Light Ice Cream

[2020-2022] I usually like to split these things up, but because I sampled them at the same time, and because that then affects how I feel about the product line in general, I'm going to keep them together if that's cool with everyone. So, we hit up Stop & Shop on the way home the other day and picked up the new "light ice cream" lineup from Haagen-Dazs. They call it Heaven, I call it a scam to lower our expectations of what should be in a pint of H-D...

Haagen-Dazs Soft Dipped Vanilla Ice Cream Bars

[2020-2022] Wow, did I just write 2020? It's kind of weird, no, very weird. It just kind of hit me as I started my first review for the 2020 season (my 13th season of reviewing ice cream). Anyway, new stuff is starting to hit my local Stop & Shop which means lunchtime is review time.

Ruby Cacao?

I was going to post about how busy I am and how boring the freezer aisle is right now, but then I remembered that @candyhunting had pointed out a new gimmick coming from Haagen-Dazs soon: Ruby Cacao beans. Will the limited edition bars (and pints) get your attention?

image rights to Haagen-Daz

According to the box "the ruby hue is released during the bean's unique fermentation process, enhancing the indulgence of cacao with a flush of berry brightness". Nestle (who controls HD in the US) also created the kitkat ruby.

Will this be the only thing we get? I hope not, we need more!! If we run with the fact that Canada is sometimes a precursor to what hits the states, then maybe someday we'll get "Extraaz".

Does extraaz imply extra mix-ins? I hope so, but honestly, I can't tell, so I asked Junk Food Jeff and he said yes! (you remember him, he's done four Canadian reviews for us). There are also six pints to go with this (two of the pints are listed as "new"). If you ask me, the time is perfect for companies to be offering high mix-in flavors. I know I would try them all.

Update note: @candyhunting also posted a new Rose & Cream flavor for the spirits line up, so that means we have spirits for at least another year.

Update #2: It's 1/6/2020 and Magnum has beat Haagen-Dazs to the news cycle. Their tweet today announces the release of new Magnum Ruby bars that we be available in both regular and mini sizes. I'm debating if I should be annoyed or amused by this development.
